Editorial Review for Pastis – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The space, fit with imported giant urinals, zinc-topped bar, large antique mirrors, mosaic floor tiles and mahogany trim, looks like it's been around forever. And like all McNally hot spots, it crackles with energy, particularly from the groups who gather to share a bite in the bar. Despite the enduring scene, the restaurant plays host to a surprising number of families. Service is breezy, yet professional.
The Food
An ideal meal here starts with lusty, cheese-encrusted onion soup or a salad of frisee and bacon capped with a soft-poached egg. It moves on to one of the city's best salads nicoise, the dependable steak frites--served with thin, perfectly salted fries--or to hearty braised dishes like beef with glazed carrots. At lunch, fish-and-chips, croque monsieur and a garlicky roast chicken are satisfying and soundly conceived.

Wasn't please with the food, have had better, and for cheaper. And I wasn't pleased with the extremely slow service. It took me and my friend an hour and 15 minutes just to eat a shared sandwich and salad. Besides that, I loved the atmosphere, the location and the waitress, when she got to us, was friendly and knowledgeable of the food.
Pros: Wonderful atmosphere, great drinks, incredible coffee
Cons: Slooooow service, bad sandwich, sloooow service

Went for an early dinner on a Friday night (630) and the place was just starting to fill up, we were seated outside immediately. I had the Salmon which was excellent and my fiance' had the Mediterranean Tuna Fish which was also excellent. Service was prompt and friendly and made for a very nice start to the evening.
Pros: Ambience
